THE OPENER
Privacy Policy & Confidentiality
Your Privacy Matters
The Opener is designed with privacy at its core. We believe your conversations — and your interest in them — belong to you alone. This policy explains exactly what we collect, what we never collect, and the choice you are given.
No Personal Data Collection
The Opener does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. We never ask for your name, email address, or account. Your cards, favourites and preferences (language, enabled categories, sound setting, premium status) are stored locally on your device using Apple’s standard UserDefaults and never leave it.
Anonymous Usage Statistics — Only If You Agree
Since version 1.14, The Opener can measure how the app is used, so we can improve it. This is off by default. The first time you open the app, we ask you plainly, and nothing is sent unless you say yes. You can change your mind at any time in Settings, and we stop immediately.
If you agree, we use Google Firebase Analytics to record anonymous events — which screens are opened, when a card is drawn, when the purchase screen is shown — together with your device model, operating system version and country. These statistics are not linked to your identity: we do not send your name, email, contacts, the content of your cards, or anything you write in the app.
No advertising, no tracking. We use the version of Firebase that has no access to the advertising identifier, we run no ads, and we never share or sell data to third parties for advertising or profiling. We do not track you across other apps or websites.
Google processes these statistics on our behalf as a data processor. See Firebase’s privacy information.
No Account, No Sign-Up
The Opener requires no account, no email, no phone number, and no sign-up. The app is fully usable from the moment you install it.
Translations Are Pre-Bundled
All 1440 questions are pre-translated into 17 languages and bundled inside the app. No translation request is ever sent to any server. The app does not require an internet connection to function.
In-App Purchases
The Opener offers a single one-time premium unlock processed entirely by Apple’s App Store via StoreKit. We do not see, receive, or store any payment information. All transaction handling, receipts, and refunds are managed by Apple. Refer to Apple’s policies for details on how Apple processes your purchase.
App Store Ratings
After meaningful engagement (multiple cards drawn over multiple days), the app may invoke Apple’s standard requestReview() prompt. This prompt is shown and handled entirely by iOS — we never see your rating, review text, or whether you chose to leave one.
Confidentiality of Your Conversations
The questions you draw, copy, or share are never logged, transmitted, or analysed in any way. The app has no microphone, camera, or location access. What happens between you and the person across the table stays between you.
Children’s Privacy
The Opener is rated 12+ on the App Store. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone, including children, and the anonymous usage statistics described above are never collected without an explicit agreement. The app contains no advertising, no in-app messaging, no social features, and no external links exposed to the user except this Privacy Policy.
Changes to This Policy
If we ever update this policy, the new version will be published on this page with an updated date. This page was last changed when anonymous usage statistics were introduced in version 1.14.
